The present volume contains the proceedings of the First Asia-Pacific Conference on Agricultural Biotechnology, Beijing, China, August 20-24, 1992. The book brings together scientists working in different fields of agricultural biotechnology to stimulate discussion on this important process and to have an appraisal of the most recent studies concerning genetic manipulation of plants, plant cell and tissue culture, plant gene regulation, plant-microbe interaction, animal biotechnology and more. This volume presents the contributions of the lectures and a selected number of posters, which together give an up-to-date account of the state of knowledge on agricultural biotechnology. The book provides a reference source not only for specialists in agricultural biotechnology, but also for researchers working on related aspects of agronomy, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, microbiology and animal sciences.
